On my Galaxy Nexus, now with 4.0.4, I see the fading edges in my app. This is in an activity, not an app widget, but I'm not doing anything special to enable them (I wouldn't have noticed on my own).
On the home screen, app shortcuts with long names have one dot at the end (not three) and are clipped without fading. -- K 2011/12/20 YuviDroid <[email protected]> > Hey there, > > I found something strange about ellipsize="marquee" on my Galaxy > Nexus...or better...it doesn't work.
